Fredonia State junior defender Ryan Ameis was named to the All-SUNYAC Second Team, as announced by the State University of New York Athletic Conference on Tuesday. Ameis is now a two-time All-SUNYAC Second Team honoree, having been named previously in 2025.

Ameis started all 19 games for the Blue Devils in 2026, totaling two goals and two assists. He had one game-winning goal, which came in a 1-0 regular-season victory over Oswego. Ameis also had an assist on the game-winning goal in a 2-1 victory against Morrisville and assisted the lone goal in a 1-1 tie with Houghton. His other goal came in a 3-1 loss to Oneonta.

Ameis has played in all 57 contests as a Fredonia State men's soccer player, starting all but one. For his Blue Devil career, the Clarence, N.Y. native has seven goals and four assists as a defender.

"Ryan has again established himself as one of the premier central defenders in the SUNYAC, anchoring a defensive unit that consistently limited scoring opportunities throughout the season," head coach P.J. Gondek said. "In addition to his defensive excellence, he posed a significant threat on set pieces, using his size, athleticism, and aerial ability to create dangerous offensive opportunities, particularly on free kicks. As a junior captain, Ryan demonstrated outstanding leadership on and off the field. His experience and leadership will be especially important heading into the 2027 season, as he will be one of 13 seniors on the roster and a key figure in guiding the team's continued success."
